Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
![]() |
|
Taste | The typical Pot Still spices are fortified by the Irish oak character. Robust yet mellow, clove and cinnamon give away to dairy fudge and milk chocolate sweetness combining with a touch of stewed apple. |
Nose | The crisp Pot Still spices are seamlessly enriched by the woodland fragrances of the Irish oak. Sweet vanilla notes are given depth by some chocolate honeycomb and coffee beans, whilst the balancing rich fruit aromas of red berries, pineapple and ripe banana complement the subtle aromatic oils. |
Finish | Exceptionally long with soft sweet spices finally giving way to the proud Irish oak. |
